The Prince Of Wales will make an appearance on Gardeners’ World on BBC Two to discuss the threats posed by pests and diseases to our native plants and trees.

The keen gardener will be interviewed at Highgrove by presenter Adam Frost for an episode to be broadcast on July 18.

Frost said: “Back in February I was invited to a meeting at Highgrove with members from across the horticultural industry to discuss the problem of pests and diseases and what could be done about them.

“It is made up of charities, environmental organisations and land owners who are using their combined knowledge to safeguard the beautiful trees.

“Today the prince has invited me back to Highgrove to explain why we as gardeners also need to do our bit.”
